Brunch’s been getting real good in Berlin. Seriously, unexpectedly good. While a few years ago the poached egg was only found at upscale hotels, no serious morning food venture can write its menu without, today. However, not everyone manages to cook it to perfection (and can we please remember that other treatments also suit that yolk well), but those who poach it right rank high on my list.

And people are feeling it too, it’s the time of renewal, the time for new projects, the time for new openings! And plenty there are. So here’s to a new list of new places we all have to try.
